There are several mechanisms for oxidative addition, which are also valid mechanisms for reductive elimination because of the principle of microscopic reversibility ( see oxidative addition ).

The theorem says if the dynamics of the system satisfies microscopic reversibility, then the forward time trajectory is exponentially more likely than the reverse, given that it produces entropy,

The extended principle of detailed balance gives an ultimate and complete answer to the following problem : " How to throw away some reverse reactions without violation of thermodynamics and microscopic reversibility ?"
